Into the fire

Life will take you into the fire

Once again

After many losses

Many heartbreaks

Life will push you to find out how much you can take

Before you become the torrent and the flood

Merging into rivers that follow the downward flow of gravity

To an ocean of seeming insanity

Where all thoughts have disappeared

Underneath the bones of the past

And there in the rag and bone yard of the heart

You will grow cold

Longing once again for the fire

That burns to live

That is life

But this time the fire you long for

Will not be

The fire of destruction

Rather the fire, of your becoming

So surrender yourself to burn again

Lighting a fire that streams across open skies

After enduring the agony

Of a thousand goodbyes
